15 Secret Places You're Not Allowed to Visit

When you’re gearing up to travel somewhere new it’s pretty normal to look up all of the places you want to go. Popular tourist attractions, great abodes, and places only the locals know about can really make or break any travel experience. But what about all of the places that they don’t want you to know about? Places full of dark secrets, unrealized and abandoned potential, or places too dangerous for humans to tread. While we may not know about them all, places like these are very real and oftentimes very top secret, and the only way to know what’s going on is to be one of the select few allowed in. So join us for today’s video, where we look at 15 of the most top-secret places you can’t visit.

Ive worked on Menwith Hill, strange as its like a little piece of the USA in England, everything priced in Dollars and lots of American cars on base.

another factor about Fort Knox, people like to discuss the vault's security but its also wise to mention it sits in the middle of an active military base

[seanscott]

kinda surprised to not see the svalbard global seed vault on this list

[tonamg]

“The comically large vault”

Because it is comic… like real comic. That coca-cola vault definitely built just for tourist with no real-world use value

Coca-cola recipe is the one of the best kept secret… Also Coca-cola, is available over 100 countries worldwide and mostly produce locally…

🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Technically you CAN gain access to the Vatican archives, its not an easy process or quick, but it can be done relatively simply. The problem is there is thousands of years of texts and history to go through, so unless you somehow knew exactly what it was you wanted to find and where it would be, the odds of randomly coming across it are astronomical.

Way back in 1963 I got to visit a NIKE Missile Facility near Spring Valley, NY. It had two Ajax air to air missiles ready to go.My dad was a B-17 Pilot and his Navigator had a son who was in charge of the facility. So I got the tour that never happened.He even opened the roof some. I was duly impressed. Saw control room, living space, little rec room, it was manned 24/7 Rockland County had 3 launch sites at least, maybe more. Their duty was to protect New York City about 18/20 miles away from Russian bombers. Radar domes were all over other parts of Rockland County.

The video you use for Bhangarh Fort is actually of Chand Baori Step Well, about 30 km away.

11:14 John Rabe. He saved over 250, 000 Chinese when Japan marched into Nanking. He's a hero! Very cool to see him in this!

I worked occasionally at Nevada Test Site on the underground & tunnel shots in the 1980’s. Mercury was where we slept & ate. There was a bowling alley, theater & steak house. When I worked on the subcritical shots in the 1990’s, most of the amenities were gone.

Anyone one else surprised Area 51 didn’t make this list?

When coke has more security then your own bank

“Disney’s Clube 33 is super top secret!”
**Shows a bunch of pictures from the inside**

[AM-nmoe]

6:24 club 33 is not 30k/month but about 30k/yr after the non-refundable initiation fee depending on membership level

[pohl]

Mercury is the main gate for area 51. It's area 51 shipping and recieving.

[jlongino]

I live near Fort Knox. There are huge signs outside saying that it’s illegal to even photograph it from the road.

[mtgpackrat]

You can visit Club 33, you just need money. However you cannot visit Area 51, which to my surprise was no where on this list unless you were combining Mercury, Nevada and Area 51 for some reason.

[fortunekader]

Rich friend took me to Club 33 when I was 12. I remember the food being mediocre. The best part of it was the novelty. You had to press a “secret” button to get in, which was like any doorbell or buzzer. The inside had mahogany wooden walls, a gated elevator, and just looked like any 1930’s theatre-type old building you can find in any city’s old town part of downtown. I had soggy ravioli that we had to order months in advanced. There was a salad bar. We ate at a long table by windows underneath the mechanical vulture. Honestly, I don’t understand the hype. Not worth 30, 000 by FAR.

[insolentjaguar]

Speaking of Bikini Atole, if you read some of the Google reviews for there, they are hilarious! Reviews saying things like "I grew an extra arm" and "the two-headed birds were SO cute !!".

[patricksmith]

If you walk to the top of Ikley Moor you get a really good view of Menwith Hill. Its huge and sinister looking. The golf balls hold dishes for picking up signals. It's an American eavesdropping base, one of three big ones they have globally.

[megii]

MenwithHill: These domes are big antennas, and it's part of ECHELON. It also does Missile tracking and stuff.

So basically it's a big ol' spy network thing. Linked to the NSA and GCHQ.
